Vic has been a great fan of the shuttle and I am uploading these for him. I am sure the rest of you would get a kick out of it too. Enjoy!

Great photos Suresh. Atlantis' send off won't be as spectacular.
And let's get one thing straight. There's a big difference between a pilot and an aviator. One is a technician; the other is an artist in love with flight. — E. B. Jeppesen

Thanks so much Suresh. I (and I'm sure all of us) have very much enjoyed viewing your photos of the Shuttles over the years.

Einstein said two things were infinite; the universe, and stupidity. He wasn't sure about the first, but he was certain about the second.

Awesome stuff. #11 is my favorite.

Thank you guys.

I will miss them all and the work associated with them but as Bob Cabana (astronaut and KSC director) said, "it is time to move on!"

I am looking forward to the new launch systems!

Dreamchaser is going to be cool!
